We\u2019re super excited about it and if you\u2019re a UK public sector buyer looking for public transport ticketing solutions, or any sort of cloud-based solution really, then you should be excited too.<\/p>\n<p><span>In our previous blog post, we showed you how to buy on G-Cloud 11 and how this government framework can make going through the procurement process so much easier and less&#8230;painful (and if you haven\u2019t seen it, don\u2019t worry you can still view it <a>here<\/a>). So this time we thought we would talk about the benefits of using G-Cloud 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So&#8230; What\u2019s so great about using G-Cloud 11? Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 1: Save time on lengthy procurements and direct awards<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Buying cloud technology and SaaS services can be a tricky experience, especially for public sector buyers. If you\u2019ve ever gone through the traditional procurement process then you know how time-consuming it can be\u2026 Don\u2019t worry though, with G-Cloud 11 you can leave this experience behind. Thanks to the G-Cloud framework, buyers are able to pick the supplier that meets their requirements thanks to the direct award process (as tenders are not allowed through the G-Cloud framework). For public sector buyers, this simply means less time wasted, less stress, less paperwork, less costs and overall, a faster technology deployment! <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 2: Get access to the most innovative companies in the market<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for a cloud hosting, cloud software or a cloud support solution, G-Cloud 11 gives you access to a great selection of the best cloud suppliers, helping you make sure that you get access to cutting edge technology pre-approved by the G-Cloud 11 framework, no matter your business objectives. And Masabi has been successful in its application to offer its services on the G-Cloud 11 framework \u2013 buying from Masabi has never been so easy and straightforward!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 3: Say goodbye to legacy technology<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fed up with legacy tech that can\u2019t keep up? So are we\u2026 It\u2019s time to say goodbye to \u2018old-fashioned\u2019 legacy systems and say hello to easy to implement and maintain cloud (SaaS) services. Being able to implement a cloud-based SaaS solution means that buyers can stay away from costly projects which take a long time to implement. Overall, as a buyer, you can save money and time, plus you\u2019ll be able to upgrade and scale your service far more easily than with a legacy solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 4: Stop wasting money on maintenance and storage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Purchasing a cloud hosted service through G-Cloud 11 means that you\u2019re able to save money on costly maintenance and storage investments. Having everything stored or run from the cloud means less hardware\/software infrastructure to install and maintain and as a result &#8211; lower storage and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 5: Save money and \u2018pay as you go&#8217;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Buying from G-Cloud 11 means that you can also benefit from buying (SaaS) services on a pay-as-you-go basis. In a nutshell, you only pay for what you use when you use it, which helps you make sure that you\u2019re not overspending as is often the case with bespoke technologies. Through the G-Cloud 11 framework, you\u2019re essentially buying off-the-shelf solutions that are quick to configure and deploy and are far more cost-effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Benefit 6: Avoid long and inflexible contracts <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about the G-Cloud 11 framework is that you can rest assured that you won\u2019t be tied into a lengthy contract. The maximum length of a G-Cloud contract is usually twenty-four months. However, in some cases, you may be able to get your contract extended with adequate approvals.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Accessing and using the G-Cloud framework comes with plenty of advantages, making procurement processes easier and almost hassle-free for public sector buyers.
